C. By Using the Right Standard
(God’s word) and the Right Motive (seek/do God’s will) to Judge, We do
not Set Ourselves Up as Judges, Jas. 4:11-12.

-1
Ths. 5:21-22: We are applying God’s judgments so that we may
“hold fast what is good” and “abstain from every form of evil”; And,
to teach others God’s will on things that “pertain to life and
godliness” (2 Pet. 1:3).

Conclusion

1. We will all stand before Christ and
be judged by Him, Acts 17:31.

2. We must surrender to God’s
judgments in our own lives, Rom. 9:20.

3. We must judge righteous
judgments in order to expose sin, uphold righteousness and try
to save the lost.

4. If you reject the gospel you judge
yourself unworthy of eternal life – you judge (condemn) yourself!
Acts 13:46
